General Information
If you wear or want contacts, you need a contact lens evaluation in addition to a comprehensive eye exam to obtain a contact lens prescription. Contact lenses are medical devices and are regulated by the FDA and FTC. That means to purchase contact lenses, you’ll need a current prescription and will need to order the exact contacts that have been prescribed to you.
An eyeglasses prescription is different from a contact lens prescription. An eyeglass prescription measures for lenses that are positioned approximately 12 millimeters from your eyes; whereas a contact lens prescription measures for lenses that sit directly on the surface of the eye. Improper fitting or care of contacts can damage the health of the eyes and cause permanent vision loss.
Eye Q Vision's Contact lens evaluation, fitting and follow up care policy
During the contact lens evaluation your eye doctor will examine the front surface of your eyes and measure their curvatures. With this information your eye doctor can determine the contact lens prescription that you need, the correct fit for your contacts, and what contact lens type and brand will work best for you.
Your doctor will fit you with a trial pair of contacts and have you wear them for a few days. If you are new to wearing contact lenses in about a week you’ll need a follow-up exam to make sure you have adjusted to your new lenses. Additional follow up exams may be required depending on the health of your eyes or the changes being made to your contacts.
Your doctor will discuss how to properly care for your contact lenses. Including when to dispose and clean your contacts and how to avoid exposure to water. Sleeping in contact lenses immediately increases your risks of complications. Specifics will be addressed based on your contact lens needs.
We want you to be happy with your contact lenses! That means that returning for follow-up care, related to the fit, comfort and vision in the contacts, is included in your contact evaluation fee. You have 90 days to return for follow-up care and are not limited to the amount of visits.
You will receive a contact lens prescription once the fitting process has been finalized.
Whether you wear glasses or contacts, it’s a good idea to get a yearly eye exam to see if you have new or existing problems, and if you need a change in vision correction.
